24/79 Spence Street, Cairns City, Qld 4870

Welcome to an extraordinary opportunity to own one of Cairns’ most prestigious 331 sqm penthouses. Apartment 24 at Clarendon on Spence is a rare offering, occupying the entire top floor of this boutique complex. With only one other penthouse sharing this level, privacy, security, and luxury are paramount in this stunning residence. Designed for those who appreciate the finest things in life, this home presents an unrivalled blend of elegance, comfort, and exclusivity. 

Set within a tightly held building of just 24 apartments, mostly owner-occupied, this residence is embraced by a proactive Body Corporate and a dedicated on-site manager. Security is second to none, with only owners granted access to the top floor. The building features fob-secured entrances, an intercom system for guest entry, and a security system within the apartment, though it has never been needed in this exceptionally safe environment. This sense of community is unmatched—residents know and look out for one another, making it a truly special place to call home. 

Step inside and be immediately captivated by the expansive open-plan living and dining area, where soaring cathedral ceilings and oversized windows flood the space with natural light. The layout is designed to embrace tropical living, with sliding doors that open to sweeping balconies on the south, east, and west, ensuring refreshing cross-breezes year-round. These expansive outdoor spaces are a seamless extension of the interiors, offering the perfect balance of relaxation and entertainment. The eastern balcony is a private sanctuary, featuring a built-in portico and a premium six-person Jacuzzi, while the western balcony is a true entertainer’s delight, complete with an eight-seater marble dining setting, retractable electric blind, and a professionally installed, self-watering garden bed lined with 28 mature Murraya trees for privacy and natural sun screening. 

The kitchen is a masterpiece of both style and functionality. Sleek imported Italian 30mm granite benchtops and kickboards set the tone for luxury, complemented by a glass splashback and ample storage with soft-close cabinetry. High-end appliances elevate the space, including an Electrolux 609L French door fridge in dark stainless steel, a Siemens four-burner induction cooktop, a Siemens built-in multi-function oven, and a Bosch Series 6 dishwasher (installed less than 12 months ago). A breakfast bar with seating for four creates a welcoming hub for casual meals, while the adjoining dining and living areas provide an elegant space for entertaining. Custom-made decorative brass light fittings, two large Daikin Inverter air-conditioners, and strategically placed ceiling fans ensure comfort in every season. 

The master suite is a true retreat, offering a perfect blend of sophistication and tranquillity. Bathed in natural light, this spacious bedroom features antique Chinese timber door panels as a bedhead, a generous walk-in robe (refitted less than 12 months ago), and direct access to the eastern balcony. The recently renovated ensuite is a sanctuary in itself, showcasing Italian textured porcelain tiles, an oversized shower, a corner spa bath, and twin recessed basins set into an opulent imported Italian granite vanity. Mirrored shaving cabinets, soft-close drawers in a high-gloss latte finish, and elegant wall-mounted tapware complete this space of indulgence. 

Two additional bedrooms are equally well-appointed, each with air conditioning, ceiling fans, and direct access to the western balcony. Bedroom two features mirrored built-in robes and a wall-mounted Samsung TV, while bedroom three boasts a walk-in robe with built-in drawers and TV points. Both rooms are finished with premium block-out blinds and sheer linen curtains, ensuring the perfect balance of privacy and light. 

The main bathroom has been meticulously renovated with an imported Italian travertine vanity, a striking gunmetal oval basin, and wall-mounted tapware in a sleek gunmetal finish. A custom-made, LED-backlit mirror enhances the space, while floor-to-ceiling Italian tiling adds a touch of modern sophistication. A separate toilet features a dramatic feature wall of Italian finger tiles, enhancing the apartment’s sense of refined luxury. 

Beyond the interiors, this penthouse offers practical yet elegant features that elevate everyday living. The fully equipped laundry includes a Fisher & Paykel WashSmart washing machine and a wall-mounted Simpson 5kg dryer, while a large linen and storage cupboard provides ample space. Premium glass tinting on all windows and doors enhances privacy and energy efficiency, ensuring comfort without compromising the stunning views. 

The apartment comes with two secure, side-by-side car parks and a large enclosed storage cupboard, providing both convenience and peace of mind. Within the complex, residents enjoy access to a beautifully maintained pool with shade cover and BBQ facilities for effortless outdoor entertaining. 

This penthouse is not only a home—it is a lifestyle. Offered with exclusive inclusions such as a marble outdoor dining table, two large stone planter pots with mature frangipanis, a large ponytail palm in a ceramic pot, and a luxurious Jacuzzi, this is a turnkey opportunity to experience the pinnacle of city living. Additional furnishings, including a King Furniture round dining table, modular lounge suite, beds, rugs, a Weber Family Q BBQ, and a timber bar table with stools, are available upon request.
